Will we ever communicate with aliens? This lecture is about a fiction book on microbes….
I’m Charles Cockell, Professor of Astrobiology at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland and I hope you’ll enjoy these lectures whether you are in the pandemic or not. DISCLAIMER: Please DO NOT use these lectures as a scientific resource!
I give them off the cuff without a script. They really are fireside chats. Although I try as hard as possible to be accurate in my facts as best as my feeble brain will allow, I take full responsibility for any inaccuracies.
I hope they will stimulate some interest and thought, but I encourage you to go hunting for other sources of information as well if you want to follow up on these lectures!
